It means no matter where they are made, they just derail once hitting US railways, why?

Ask CRRC...here's just one of the multiple wheel issues and I don't think it is track related:

MBTA Board Update: More Bolster Banes on New Orange Trains - Streetsblog Massachusetts

New Orange Line Cars will be out of service indefinitely while their manufacturer addresses more issues with a component on the trains' wheel assemblies..

A diagram of the bolster and truck frame assembly under new Orange Line train cars, from a January 2020 Fiscal and Management Control Board presentation.

Employing an idiom that has gained remarkable popularity for cancelling plans this winter, Deputy General Manager Jeff Gonneville told board members that the new trains had been pulled “out of an abundance of caution” after engineers identified another issue with the new trains’ bolster components, which lie between the floor of each car and the truck frame, which holds the train’s wheels (see diagram above).

But how come made in US and other countries trains even derail regularly on US rail tracks?

Depends upon the situation. Sometimes it's an old train, sometimes a track warps in the extreme hot sun, sometimes it it is a defect in a new train, lots of reasons.

Probably, maybe, sometimes... It's your overall rundown infrastructure in plain sight.

Why do Chinese trains derail...on your new or "well kept" infrastructure...

Why do Chinese trains derail...on your new or "well kept" infrastructure...

Accident happens, but it's very rare in China, the fact you had to dig out an incident happened over 10 years ago proved it. but in US it happens regularly, this is the problem I m talking about, even most Americans admit their rundown infrastruture poses a threat to the country, you are just in pathetic denial.

Why do Chinese trains derail...you asked me and didn't like my answer....and now you are avoiding answering for yours.

Oh are you now insinuating there has been no derailments since then just because I happened to pick that famous one?


What causes derailments in China? Answer please...if you don't want to answer then stop asking me to answer your same questions.

In the US, rail tracks and trains are owned by different companies. When an accident happens, nobody knows whom should be held accountable. There would be a messy finger pointing, so people just forget about it, until next accident. If the same accident happens in China, everyone knows who to blame, CPC, and it will be on the international headline news for days if not weeks. You can be sure some heads are gonna roll in China, which may be the reason that one has to go as far back as last decade to find a fatal accident.

In a way, Chinese life worth more international attention than that of Americans.

Even a dog from China can make week-long headlines in the West. More than their daily shootings..

What's the merit of your argument, you seem to argue purely because you can't digest the fact that Chinese can do better than Americans in some area? Even Trump said our airport looks like 3rd worldly compared to China's, and the very reason the Congress just passed the "Infrastructure bill". Do you think that Chinese are not deserving?

If the death of a dog can make into International highline news, there is not much that can be hidden in China, not to mention railway accidents. People here just don't want to acknowledge this simple fact.

It is a pity that it will soon be messed up.

Sincere goodwill must be appreciated wherever it may come from. But, most Western MSM and some fringe media lost that air of sincerity. Most people in Russia, China, and elsewhere look at their pretension of goodwill skeptically. Rightfully so. Even in the US there seems to be a loss of universal truth/facts. Everyone believes in their own media. Media as an instrument of power has lost its authenticity.

There are more disinformation than misinformation on MSM these days, not to mention the echo chambers between MSM and SM, especially when it comes to China. I believe media is the instrument of propoganda, as all information carried by any media are biased by definition. The neutrality is not longer something we can ask for from media, so I ask for the nest best thing, the most reliable media is the one that lies the least, and that, ironically, happened to be Chinese official media. They don't give you a full picture, but what they tell you are most likely to be true.
